Lasting First Impressions

Whether your style is traditional, contemporary, or downright whimsical, curb appeal is your chance to make a lasting first impression.

Reminiscent of a French chateau amid the hills of Burgundy, stone accents and gabled rooflines give a quiet sophistication and inviting warmth to this country manor. Textures are rich and varied – natural timber beams, ledgestone walls, wrought iron railings, and lush green lawns. To the left, a guesthouse creates an oasis of privacy.

Apparently emerging organically from the ground itself, this home takes the traditional log cabin to new highs of style. A circular, stone chimney visually anchors the rest of the house into the hill. Curved timbers, a theme repeated throughout, create a dramatic entryway. And wrapping around the entire structure, a porch allows you to follow the sun throughout every hour of the day.

Refined, elegant, and understated, there's an undeniable sense of arrival here. The driveway sweeps forward in a gentle curve as it guides you effortlessly to the front doorway. Foyer windows soar two-storeys high, their arched shape echoed in clerestory panes on a small turret overlooking the garage. Earth tones and lavish use of rock allow this home to merge with the surrounding natural setting.
